was entirely disproven by the founder's day sports when the frosh conquered over the sopho mores in the tug of war twen ty husky freshmen battled twenty learned sophs on two oc casions and yearling brawn won out on both occasions at the start of the contest it appeared as though the sophs would have an easy time of it as each man was set in approved form while the frosh remained upright as though they did not understand the proceedings however their muscle and size balanced their lack of form and they won the first attempt by dragging the sophs ten yards across the start ing line the upperclassmen de sired another chance at their op ponents and so it was decided to make the event a two out of three trials affair accordingly the two classes met again and this time the underclassmen were successful only by a mar gin of a few feet the victory in the tug of war for the frosh made it appear as though they might make a clean sweep of the afternoon this later proved to be wrong but the fact that the frosh are an unusually husky class remained unchallenged x country men get hard grilling spirit aroused by freshman meeting call for choir candidates also issued by reverend gateson siegmund and porter are working on all the likely prospects prompt response requested the track events on founder's day have maintained their repu tation as being the most thrill ing event of the program in years past this year's relay was a record-breaker in as much as it broke all past records for founder's day relays the for mer record of 3:47.5 held by the class of 19 was reduced to 3 44.4 by the fast stepping class of 28 who ran away from the sophs in easy fashion the frosh established a lead in the first heat and each succeeding heat was theirs by an increasing margin the sophomore team was composed of barba lead off man walborn second laudig third and brandon anchor man the frosh runners were aitken first randall second chicker ing third and billmeyer anchor man the frosh quartet proved to be a well balanced combina tion and each man covered his distance in approximately the same time the first lap was by far the closest and aitken 28 won over barba 27 by a few yards bar ba is a varsity cross-country man and winner of this year's wilbur prize while aitkene is a product of orange high barbe took an early lead but his fresh man opponent spurted on the fin al stretch and came in ahead randall running second for the freshman won his heat and in creased the freshman lead by ten yards the frosh third man chickering managed to add twenty yards to his lead so that by the time billmeyer re ceived the baton it was practical ly impossible for mrandon var sity track man running anchor for the sophs to tlnish ahead billmeyer was probably the most experienced man running for the frosh he prepped at york col legiate institute and while there he participated in the perm re lays three times and also won several medals in scholastic meets in philadelphia the time made by each man of the record breaking frosh team is as follows aitken 56.2 sec ; randall 56.3 sec ; chicker ing 56.3 sec billmeyer 56.1 sec the frosh were wholly back of their team and its success had much to do toward winning the entire meet the annual soph-ffosh foot ball game ended in a scoreless tie last wednesday the con test throughout showed evidence of that fight which is better known as class rivalry and proved to be one of the most in teresting games of inter-mural football that lehigh has wit nessed for some time the day was an ideal one for such a sport a gentle breeze was blowing and the gridiron just a little soggy the sophomores opened the game with a poor kickoff which was equally well received by the frosh the ball was put into action on the fifteen yard line from where the frosh succeeded in making a first down in three plays they were then held for three downs and on the fourth punted gould broke through and got his man as he caught the ball no substantial gains were made and they punt ed on the third down the frosh blocked the punt and got the ball on the twenty yard line two successive plungs through cen ter resulted in a first down here their attacks were stifled and they lost the ball on downs the sophs gained five yards on a fake punt but gave this up when they were thrown for a loss on a fumbled ball they were forced to punt melaney gained five yards and hand carried the ball ten yards around left end for another first down but a frosh recovered it with no loss a drop-kick exe cuted by the frosh failed and the ball was put into play on the twenty yard line an attemp ted left end run was foiled and the sophs made five yards through tackle but were forced to punt on the fourth down the frosh were twice held but se cured a first down when a five yard penalty was imposed upon the sophs for being off sides and a fifteen yard run by hand the frosh attempted the first pass of the game which was intercept ed and carried back five yards the next two passes on the part of the sophs were grounded and the half ended with the ball in the soohs possession on the forty yard line between the halves the an nual rope-tying contest took place and resulted in a victory for the sophomores a tally showing seven sophs up as com pared to two freshmen continued on page 4 col 7 lehigh's cross-country team is all set for a record season there is an encouraging num ber of candidates reporting for practice every day the varsity men are working out under the tutelege of seigmund and por ter and the new men are receiv ing the attentions of coach kan aly the varsity men from last year's team who are going over the course again this year are seigmund last year's captain porter captain-elect barba raine maxwell platt and as ken besides the veterans from last season there is plenty of new material although there is still opportunity for those who have not yet reported there are quite a large number of fresh man out and kanaly is rapidly working these men into material for cross-country running there is a separate course for the freshman the frosh course is only three and one-half miles long the reason for this short er course is to avoid all possi bility of straining the men who are trying out for the first time in intercollegiate cross-country the prospects are exception ally bright for a wonderful sea son in cross-country tkis year at lehigh with the large number of varsity men back and the wealth of new material the freshman expect to have a fine team and meets will be arranged for the yearlings continued on page 4 col 2 the gettysburg team that will meet the lehigh eleven next sat urday in taylor sadium will not be the same team that lehigh beat last year it will be a heav ier better equipped fighting or ganization it will be a more se rious opponent with which to deal and an opponent that has dangerous possibilities this fact was clearly demon strated in the gettysburg-juni ata game in which the gettys burg men romped off with a score of thirty-nine to nothing shulding assistant coach for le high saw the game and was much impressed with the im provement of the present get tysburg eleven over last year's team the squad has gained sev eral new men every one of whom has proved his worth in soma phase of the game singley who formerly played end for lehigh is one of the stars spanga a freshman at gettysburg is one of the team's biggest assets be fore entering gettysburg he was captain and star of the york high school football squad in the game with juniata he scored twice for gettysburg another gettysburg man who stands out is decker he plays right end and is the best kicker on the team emanuel a fourth year man is a football veteran who plays a fine game he is hard to tackle and will get a touchdown whenever there is a possible chance a team having such men on it is one which must ne cessarily be reckoned with in the game with juniata the forward pass vas used with a good deal of success and was used quite often there were several good end runs especially those made by emanuel the team-work was sometimes not as good as might have been ex pected gettysburg was espe cially effective in the offensive and in situations in which an in dividual star was needed there is no getting around the fact that gettysburg has a well equipped aggressive football squad nevertheless the score of sat urday's game should be about twenty to nothing in favor of le high is the opinion of assistant coach shulding coach baldwin is also optimistic about the pros pects of victory for lehigh the men have undergone intensive training for three weeks and are fully prepared to give any on comers a mighty battle in de fensive and offensive in the strength of the line-men and the backfield and in knowledge of the strategy of the game the team has been thoroughly drill ed and equipped it has plenty of weight it has every require ment of a first class football team for pride in his team every lehigh man should be out on continued on page 4 col 1 the annual founder's day exercises were held wednesday morning october 1 1924 the program started by the acad emic procession from alumni memorial hall to packer hail and winding it's way to the cha pel where the rest of the pro gram was carried out the ceremonies in the chapel started by the singing of the hymn 0 god our help in ages past by the congregation which was followed by a read ing from the scriptures and a prayer by rev d wilmot gate son a b a violin solo was ren dered by miss pauline mitchel president richards then spoke a few words of the significance of the day he then introduced eugene gifford grace e e 99 president of the board of trus tees mr grace's subject was an appreciation of the life of dr henry reese price 70 ' his address encluded such re marks as were of interest to the whole audience he mentioned the fact that dr price was a member of the first class which was graduated from lehigh and a loyal alumnus became presi dent of the board of trustees when he entered the entire college was located in one build ing christmas hall there wao a president four professors and pn einstructor everything in cluding the administration office and classes were held there at that time the ruling was very rigid and broad one rule which was enforced was that students couldn'a play cards un less they had a written permit of intoxication or smoking was from the president also a case an unpardonable offence in those days also athletics were not as important as they are now and professional coaching was unheard of his life after college was very successful and he was always a true loyal son of lehigh after mr grace's address the candidates for degrees received them the list of those who re ceived degrees is as follows master of arts hobart amory earber b a master of sciences walter flamm quast m e bachelor of arts richard joseph buck bachelor of arts arthur wellington springsteen civil engineer warren

paul wilson redline continued on page 4 col 5 after services in the chapel were over last monday the freshmen held a class meeting the rev gateson read a short notice in which he asked for volunteers for the choir he said that in the past years the choir seats had always been filled and that he would like to have them continue that way this year president avery then took charge of the meeting and gave a short talk on the significance to him and his classmates of the founder's day sports he said that they needed more men out for these events especially the tying-up and pants-tearing con tests avery then spoke of the waning enthusiasm of the fresh men he urged them to get back the fight that they had start ed out with gardner simes who had been appointed chairman of the founder's day sports

at 7:15 p m in the burr room drown hall all men compet ing for the business staff are required to attend competitors will bring all ads and subscriptions re ceived to date the arcadia hop held on the even of founder's day was a huge success the lehigh crit erions furnished the inspiration and helped to make the dance floor in drown hall the scene of a happy social event because of its late announcement the dance was informal and is con sidered as having been an exper iment it was the first social function held at lehigh this year and if a success it is quite possible that more college dances wil take place at lehigh a lit tle after ten o'clock the electric lights went out because of some line trouble due to the excessive rain the orchestra kept on playing and many collisions re sulted it was certainly amus ing to see the fellows who had become separated from their partners striking matches to lo cate their friends someone lit several candles and the dance continued with the picturesque wax tapers in each window the electric service was renewed af ter a short while the dancers who had brought guests from al lentown were filled with conster nation by the announcement that the hamilton street bridge was closed because of the high wa ter those who had machines were forced to take the back road over to allentown which made some of the parties somewhat later in arriving home the frosh regulations were lifted so that freshman might attend the affair and many of the first-year men stepped out to their first college function there was a long stag line and it was a lucky freshman who fin ished each dance it is hoped that affairs like these will be more in evidence at lehigh in the future such events as these are productive of the right kind of college spirit also the founder's day hop is an old custom that was second only to the sophomore cotillion in splendor this and many of the old customs should be brought back to the campus and this year's arcadia is to be com mended on their efforts to re vive some of the traditional functions of lehigh the committee in charge of arranging for this affair includ ed w b wardell 25 chair man f trumbore 25 and g lundberg
